Finally the console dreams are made of comes to Europe. Japan has had it since March 2000 and the Americans got their hands on it on the 26th of October, Sony making a whopping $250,000,000 in the first 24 hours. Now it's our's. I have been waiting for a long time for the 24th of November to come, especially after Sony pushed the release date back from the 25/09 (5 years after the original grey box was released) to 26/10 and finally to the confirmed date of 24/11.

The specs of this machine are unlike anything ever seen before, it can run at an amazing 75 million polygons a second (yes, count them 75!...actually no don't). Also it has the largest number of launch titles a console has ever had before so make sure you have plenty of cash, all the rest of you lucky people who have a pre-order form.

It is time for the second coming. Sega will be quaking in their boots right now and I think it will still beat the Gamecube and X box.

If you don't think you are getting one then go to the doctor 'cuz you must have a screw loose somewhere. With the amazing gaming capabilities and the option of playing DVD movies, not to mention the hard drive and broadband modem available 2001 for full on hardcore online gaming. It would be mad to not buy one.
